Lin Yuanqing recalled the scene when he fought with the beggar on the way back, although the other party used a wooden stick as a weapon, but the move looked like a knife or sword, and the other party obviously did not use all his strength, he had already lost, in the end, everyone in the martial arts was so strong, or he met a master.

Listening to the man in black shouting the beggar Qiu Daxia, the hero surnamed Qiu has never heard of it, and he must inquire when he has the opportunity in the future.

As for secrecy, it's better to have more than one thing, and I don't want to do it.

Lotte's personality made Lin Yuanqing quickly comfort himself and swaggered back to sleep.

The next day, Lin Yuanqing knocked on the side and asked Yuan San if he knew that there was a hero surnamed Qiu in the beggar gang, and Yuan San said that he had never heard of it at all, so he didn't think much about it.

While the two were chatting, Lin Yuanqing suddenly asked, "Brother Yuan, I suddenly thought of a question. ”

Yuan San bit the cake in his hand and whimpered, "Ask." ”

"It suddenly occurred to me that if everyone in our beggar gang wanted to be an introducer, would everyone just think about pulling people into the gang and no longer trying to make money?"

"I've thought about this too, but there will always be new disciples coming in, they are our source of income, as long as you join the gang, the money must be paid every month, no matter how much money you earn. ”

"Huh, don't you pay according to the amount of money you get every day?"

"Of course not, if you only get one penny a month, do you have to break the money into three parts?"

"Didn't Fang Yuanwai say that he would pay according to the actual amount?"

That's just what he said, and his men don't do it, everybody has to pay according to the amount they set, and this amount changes every month, and if the amount set last month is not paid, then you will be taken away. ”

"Isn't this a lie?

"What can I do if I know? I saw with my own eyes a beggar who had been beaten for not having paid his hand, and then Fang Yuanwai did not know what he had said, so he came back in high spirits, and then he was beaten again that night, and beat him for several days until he had all handed over. ”

"Brother Yuan, aren't you afraid?"

"What am I afraid of? Don't look at us as beggars, but the unlucky ones are those who have serious occupations, these people only join the beggars gang to seek refuge, and they are different from us, and they deserve to be beaten. Yuan San said disdainfully.

。。。 Does no one want to leave?"

"Of course there is, and those people will be politely invited into the house for a good meal by Fang Yuanwai, and they will also get a sum of money and be sent out of the house by Fang Yuanwai in person. ”

"How are these people doing now?"

"I don't know, anyway, there is no one who will stay here after leaving the beggar gang, I have never seen anyone who will continue to live in Anxi Town after leaving, they should all go to a bigger place to make a living. After Yuan San finished speaking, he lay down comfortably.

"If I propose to leave the beggars now, I think I'll get the money and be sent away. Lin Yuanqing suddenly said excitedly after hearing Yuan San's words.

"What?!You want to leave now?!" Yuan San sat up abruptly after hearing this, grabbed Lin Yuanqing's arms with both hands and asked anxiously.

"Brother Yuan, you tap. Lin Yuanqing broke free of Yuan Sandi's hand and said.

"Xiaolin, it's not that the eldest brother said you, you have to have dreams, how promising it is to follow Fang Yuanwai, and you have just joined the gang, so you proposed to leave, how will the people in the martial arts think of you when you go out in the future? Yuan San said to Lin Yuanqing earnestly.

"Uh... Brother Yuan, don't worry, I didn't say that I would leave now, I also want to make money. Lin Yuanqing's doubts became more and more serious, but it was inconvenient to talk to Yuan San, so he could only temporarily appease him.

"That's it, don't listen to the old man's words and suffer in front of you, I'm a little tired today, and I'll teach you more secrets of begging for money tomorrow. After Yuan San received Lin Yuanqing's affirmative answer, he lay back again.

Lin Yuanqing was uneasy, a series of pictures such as the performance of Fang Yuanwai before, the dialogue between the man in black and the beggar were connected, he seemed to have guessed one or two, and he also knew that something big was about to happen.

He wanted to find out about the beggar and the man in black again, but he ran all over the town and found no trace of these two people, and when he was depressed thinking of a way, he suddenly remembered Hong Er's words: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable." Then he thought of a way to make the other party show up.

He came to Fang's mansion, stood at the door for a while, with a hesitant look on his face, and finally wanted to go inside as if he had made a decision, but the two family members at the door stopped him and asked him what was the matter.

Lin Yuanqing was just about to speak, when a beggar suddenly came out not far away, holding a wine gourd, and shouted loudly while drinking: "The surname Lin, where are you kid hiding, don't think that you can run away if you lose money." Listening to his tone, he seemed to be drunk, and he staggered towards him.

Seeing this, Lin Yuanqing walked towards him, and just wanted to whisper to explain the situation, he was punched heavily in the face, and before he could react, he received another kick in the chest, which kicked him down and rolled back several times, he looked up at the other party, although the beggar was full of the smell of alcohol, but the eyes hidden under his hair were staring at him like sharp knives.

Knowing in his heart, Lin Yuanqing got up and fought with the other party, and shouted in his mouth: "You fucking out of the old man, pit Lao Tzu's money, Lao Tzu is going to come to Fang Yuan to ask for justice today." ”

After the two family members saw them scuffling together, they shouted in disgust: "If you two want to fight, you two will fight far away, and you will stain the door outside the square member, you are good-looking." After saying that, he came up and pushed the two people away.

And in the process of non-stop scuffling, the two of them slowly moved towards the corner of the street, and just out of the family's sight, the beggar grabbed Lin Yuanqing's neck and said with a pity: "You, informant?"

"If I wanted to snitch, I wouldn't have cooperated with you in this play. Lin Yuanqing said calmly, although his face was already red due to lack of oxygen.

After hearing this, the strength in the beggar's hand gradually decreased, but he still did not let go, and said, "Why?"

Lin Yuanqing rolled his eyes, and said in a heavy tone: "I don't think you guys are bad people, so I want to ask you some questions." ”

"Why should I trust you?"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I guess you are planning a big thing, and it has something to do with Fang Yuanwai, if a beggar dies not far from Fang Yuanwai's house at this time, do you think he will be alert?"

"Destroy the corpses. ”

"I can't beat you, but I still have the ability to shout before I die. ”

After hearing what Lin Yuanqing said this, the beggar thought for a while, withdrew his hand, looked into his eyes and said, "It's not convenient here." He turned and walked out.

Lin Yuanqing rubbed his neck a few times and followed the beggar away.

The two walked for a long time, one after the other, and stopped in the alley behind a grain store, and the beggar knocked on the back door a few times, and the door opened, and a boy who looked like a man led the two into a storeroom-like room, and fiddled in a dark corner a few times, and then the wall sounded.

The beggar stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push, and a secret room appeared in front of Lin Yuanqing, there was only a table and a few stools in the middle of the secret room, and the beggar sat on the stool after lighting the oil lamp, and did not look at Lin Yuanqing, but only said one word: "Wait." ”

Lin Yuanqing didn't say anything, and sat down, and it didn't take long for a man to come in, and Lin Yuanqing recognized at a glance that it was the person who stopped the two of them from doing it at Fang Yuanwai's house a few days ago.

This person was wearing a gray robe, his appearance was generally featureless, he belonged to the type that could be perfectly integrated into the crowd in one stop, and he was also carrying a teapot and two teacups in his hand, Lin Yuanqing noticed that his right hand was covered with calluses, and thought that this person must be a person who practiced martial arts.

The man also froze when he saw Lin Yuanqing, looked at the beggar, the beggar nodded, and then he laughed and said, "I really didn't expect Brother Lin to come here." ”

After hearing the other party's voice, Lin Yuanqing knew that he was the man in black that night, so he stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Senior." ”

"Don't call me a senior, I'm a few years older than you, my surname is Ou, my name is Suifeng, just call me Brother Ou. Ou said kindly.

After the three of them sat down, Ou Suifeng poured tea for the two of them and asked, "I wonder what Brother Lin came here for?"

Lin Yuanqing said: "I've been thinking about these things outside the party for the past few days, and I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't figure it out, I hope that Brother Ou and this Qiu... Qiu Daxia can help me with the answer. ”

Ou Suifeng and the beggar glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Why does Brother Lin think we can tell you something?"

Lin Yuanqing shrugged his shoulders, spread his palms and said: "First, I don't think you are bad people, second, I think what Fang Yuanwai is doing is deceiving people, and third, I didn't bring any weapons today, even if I know the truth of the matter, it is now in your hands, and it is not your word to kill or chop." ”

Ou Suifeng laughed after hearing this, gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Lin is thoughtful and admired, but how can you be so sure that we won't do anything unfavorable to you?"

"Since you don't believe me, let me believe in you. ”

Ou Suifeng glanced at the beggar again, but the beggar didn't say anything, just lowered his head and drank tea.

He thought for a while, clasped his fists and said: "Okay, since Brother Lin is so bright and upright, we will no longer be hypocritical, this is Qiu Mingyuan Qiu Daxia, but the elder of the beggar gang, the people of the rivers and lakes call 'Hongchen without a knife', I am the head of the rivers and lakes of Luoyang City, entrusted by the helmsman of the beggar gang, to assist Qiu Daxia in finding out the case of Anxi Town." He saw that Lin Yuanqing didn't react too much to this, smiled and said: "It seems that Brother Lin is new to the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know much about some things on the rivers and lakes. ”

Ou Suifeng got up after speaking, took out a thick stack of paper from a small cabinet next to him and put it in front of Lin Yuanqing, it was full of words, Lin Yuanqing picked it up and read it carefully, and was instantly shocked.

Seeing that each piece of paper was full of evidence of Fang Yuanwai's crime, Ou Suifeng explained beside him: "Fang Yuanwai, formerly known as 'Fang Tianxiao', a person from Zhengzhou, Henan, is a disciple of the Eight Bags of the Beggar Gang, who disappeared three years ago, and later found out that he came to Anxi Town and deceived in the name of the Eight Bags Elder of the Beggar Gang. ”

Lin Yuanqing looked at the content on the paper in surprise: "On the third day of the first month of January, the three brothers of the Hu family wanted to break away from the gang, and they were brought into the Fang Mansion at night, and the next day they were found to be carrying three blood-stained sacks from the back door to leave the Fang Mansion, and buried the three sacks at the foot of the barren mountain on the west side of the town. ”

"On January 16, Qian Youwei, the owner of Fu Kee Pawnshop, disappeared, and his family received a letter demanding the payment of 300 taels of ransom, and there was no news after doing so, half a month later, some fishermen reported that a body was found in the lower reaches of the Cangjiang River, and it was confirmed that the deceased was Qian Youwei, and a few days after the body was found, Fang Tianxiao took the Fu Ji Pawnshop into his name at a very low price, during which the Qian family objected to the disappearance one after another, and it was verified that Fang Tianxiao did it. ”

"On March 13, Fang Tianxiao brought Sun Feiwen, the owner of Youji Grain Store, Yin Ke, the owner of Huayuan Inn, and Wei Ruixing, the owner of Linglong Restaurant, into Fang's mansion for the reason that the help fee was not paid. ”

。。。

Lin Yuanqing looked at them one by one, gritted his teeth, and felt as if his chest was about to be blown up, and finally when he saw the seventh, he couldn't stand it anymore, slapped it heavily on the table, and with one palm, the wooden table was torn apart, and he scolded in his mouth: "There are such people in the world who have lost their conscience!

Ou Suifeng caught a pile of case files, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Brother Lin is still too young, this is the purpose of our here, Qiu Daxia and I have been lurking for nearly a year, and we have mastered all the strength and criminal evidence of Fang Tianxiao, now, I don't know what Brother Lin thinks?" After finishing speaking, Ou Suifeng put the case file into the cabinet, sat back and looked at Lin Yuanqing meaningfully.

"If this person is not removed, heaven will not tolerate it!" Lin Yuanqing said hatefully, and then grabbed Ou Suifeng's arm: "Brother Ou, I don't know if I can help?"

Ou Suifeng looked at him with an embarrassed face and said: "Well, strictly speaking, you are not a real disciple of the Beggar Gang, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you are not an official in the family, so you have no right to meddle in this matter." ”

Lin Yuanqing clenched his fists and said: "The person I hate most in my life is the person who makes other people's families ruined, which is why I want to learn martial arts, kill all the bad people in the world!"

Ou Suifeng looked at him for a while, and said, "Brother Lin, do you think you should tell us why you came here?" We don't know your details, which is why we wanted to test you in the bamboo forest that night, because you are a newcomer, and you are not weak in martial arts, in case it is Fang Tianxiao's subordinate, we can also take corresponding measures." ”

"Well, I was originally from Qinghua City, serving in the army, and my family was killed by bandits when I was a child, so I was determined to practice martial arts to take revenge, and later found out that the enemy was also in the army, so I stabbed them, and now I am wanted by the army, if Brother Ou wants to take me down, I have no opinion, but I want to help you get rid of Fang Tianxiao, the thief, first, otherwise my conscience will be disturbed!" Lin Yuanqing intersected his fists and smashed them together.

Ou Suifeng flashed a trace of surprise when he heard this, and then regained his composure, Qiu Mingyuan nodded uncharacteristically, and said: "The eldest husband is informal, well done, old Ou, I think this kid has a chivalrous heart and can be trusted." ”
